Athletic fields at the high school – As Head Football coach, he is here tonight to talk to the Board members about the condition of the football field; it is in sub-par condition and the athletes are suffering

If the high school does not have a football field to host a scheduled contest, the team would be forced to forfeit

Soccer field is in disrepair, as well; head coach was told by Athletic Director that other teams from our conference are refusing to play on our soccer field because of the condition of the field

Construction concerns – Thanked the Board of Education members for listening to the following concerns from the middle school staff members:

There is not sufficient parking for the existing staff; 120 spaces and 130+ staff members

There are classrooms with Smart Boards that are inoperable; there are classrooms that have no white boards or chalk boards

There is no room in the classrooms for the students to bring their book bags and/or coats

Staff proxies are only working at Door 16; this is another reason why cars are being parked on Olmsted

Wi-Fi and other technology is currently sporadic; copiers have not been operational
